We are sadden to hear what happened this weekend at the Old West End Festival.

Please keep those who were hurt or affected by yesterday’s events in your thoughts and hope they have a speedy recovery.

For those who need someone to talk to, feel free to contact Matthew. Just message this page or message him via Facebook.

The Old West is and will always be be beautiful, and we hope that we can come together as a community and left each other up during this tragic moment.

Hi friends! Hope everyone is well.

As you know we are still in our new space! The issue is, the building still needs some fine tuning before we can have groups at the space again.

With that, due to a coverage issue, we have to reschedule tonight's community event, the Prep for Pride event :(

It will be pushed back to Wednesday, March 27th. Here is the new virtual advertisement with the new date. Flyers with the new date will be out in the community soon.

Thank you for understanding. Looking forward to seeing you then!
